In this episode, you are going to learn from Author, Executive Forums Facilitator, and Speaker, Ric Franzi. Ric and I were recently introduced to each other by our friend Alison Conners.
Ric has a rich career history in top executive roles and now leads CEO Peer Groups in Orange County, California. Ric is also a speaker and author of a few best selling books, two of which we talk about in this interview.
I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Ric. He was kind enough to invite me on to his radio show/podcast a few weeks ago and he agreed to let me interview him for this podcast today.
In this interview, we talk about:
- Ric’s 6-step model to avoid, reduce, or mitigate the negative effects of unintended consequences.
- How a leader can recover when their team has lost faith in them as the leader because of a history of making bad decisions.
- We get very clear about who on a team is responsible for culture.
- What Ric has found that CEOs struggle with the most.
- A disciplined ritual that Ric is committed to doing every day to grow his influence.
- What kind of leaders ask for help.

Thank you for listening to The Authentic Leader Show Podcast.
I look forward to seeing you next time. Until then, remember, you don’t need to be a leader of leaders. Just be the leader others want to follow. Be, an Authentic Leader.
